Call of Duty Mobile |OT| Boots on the ground on a phone
- Thread starter Lukar
- Start date
Shit like this is why I refuse to spend any money on these games. It's very predatory, and they're taking advantage of these people. Because you have to be either — a) well off or — b) mentally ill/young to spend that much money just for the chance to unlock some dumb skins.

Meh this seems like the usual Tencent special. They do the exact same thing in PUBG Mobile and AoV. No matter how much their community complains on the game subreddits and their own forums, they always bring it back.
Shoutouts to the Bape PUBGM collaboration. That shit had some awful prices
Having a ton of fun with the game. As other people have mentioned, it does feel like I'm playing with bots or just absolute shit players the majority of the time, which is fine because it feels good to dominate. The micro transactions do feel scummy and I hate how there isn't the typical play to unlock weapon camos. I don't normally play games on my phone, but this one is good.
They keep bringing them back because the whales spend thousands. Doesn't matter if 99% of the community complains, as long as that 1% spends they'll keep doing it which is sad.
is there a good place to read the details? this is just a video of a bearded white dude screaming
it's basically a random roll out of a selection of items that get crossed out as you get them. However the price goes up a ton each time you roll until you've ultimately spent upwards of $200 for everything.
I dunno, basically the Halloween loot box is a scam because the best rewards which is the player and AK skin are seemingly always unlocked last and each spin costs more than the last. By the tenth and last spin it costs you $100 for a single spin. To get everything in the loot crate you need to spend $250.
wow, that's just transparently shitty
Should be noted that the AK you get is the same as the one at the end of the BP but with a halloween theme.
It's easy to lose a lot of money in this game's MTXs seemingly, the upside is that everything's cosmetic so that you're not really missing out on anything if you don't shell out money.
When are reviews up? partial is fine too because I just wanna read campaign impressions.
Edit: My bad, thought it was MW thread.
Edit: My bad, thought it was MW thread.
Wrong thread. This is CoD Mobile, not Modern Warfare haha.
It's totally possible that the game's progression system will eventually take an awful turn to favour whales, and indeed some of the cosmetic-only monetization is kinda nasty with the wheelspins and whatnot, but I gotta say that the Battle Pass system is really fun, smooth and rewarding. Easy challenges, fast progression, I'm already around level 80 and I haven't exactly grinded the game in these three weeks or so. Compare it with Fortnite's, Apex Legends' or even Black Ops 4's pass which are grindy as hell, very hard if not impossible to complete if you miss a couple weeks or if you don't do enough lengthy daily challenges. Who would have thought that the least grindy COD of the past years will be the mobile one...
Yeah I hit the spinner twice and as soon as I saw the exponential increase in cost I was like nope.gif
At least most of that stuff is just pure cosmetic. Plenty of content to chase with the rotating challenges and battle pass.
November 1, 2019 Community Update (event schedule and feedback)
OP
OP
Yeah :/. Quick look shows 9-10 people who haven't played in a week(or more I think it maxs at 7days)
I too would love that. But I'll settle for controller support on mobile.
Honestly I don't know a thing about what sort of controller support was previously in the game before, but it seems like it's taking longer than the user base is willing to wait to "fix" it. I hope it can be released before the middle of this month.
Rockets Only is the stupidest gamemode they could think of. It's simply not fun to play in the slightest: everything is one shot and requires 5 seconds of reloads, but for some reason you can use killstreaks and specialists for free kills too? Not even gonna bother finishing the challenges for this one.
I have a very hard time finding matches without at least one hacker nowadays. It's getting noticeably worse week by week. Not sure I'll keep on going with this game much longer, with MW2019 also being disappointing it would mean I could go back to BO4 or even 3 soon.
I don't agree with 3 and 4 being bad, though the best one was indeed 2. The issue is that by now, as all last-gen versions of the game, it's ran over by hackers by now which makes it extremely hard to play it properly. They're sitting on so much free money by not remastering some of the beloved classics like BO2, MW2-3 and such.
Half my deaths nowadays come from people whose aim snaps through a wall to follow me exactly behind cover, killing me the instant I am visible. Think I'm finishing this pass then I'm done with this game.
Nice, I'm almost there. Too bad the AK is kind of crap, wish it was the AK117.
Decided "fuck it" and balled out to get that colorful curvy knife from the credit promotions. The animation is sick. Got lucky on my werewolf crate drops and got the M4 in my first 10. Not as lucky with the price crates, oh well!
is anyone finding battle royale... too easy? I place #1 in solo about 9/10 times. Think I'm veteran rank 2. I imagine it will get a bit more challenging later on in ranks. I've started to artificially gimp myself haha. Its just so easy to lock down the airfare crates and get the good sniper. Even with just a vanilla M4 you can wreck. Footsetps on map are OP, I'm alerted basically 99% of the time anyone gets close to me.
The BR is very very veeeeery easy. Cause I'm pretty sure it's 90 bots and like 10 players.
Yeah I wish there was a differentiation between ranked/unranked in BR. Love ranked multiplayer. Almost got S&D unlocked as a gamemode, very excited.
November 8, 2019 Community Update (Zombies mode, CoD Endowment)
OP

New community update:
Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile community, over the past month there is one request that we have seen every single day, 'where is Zombies?' It will be at your fingertips before you know it.
Look to our social media channels as we prepare to show Zombies to the world! We share plenty through these Community Updates, but our social media channels have screenshots, videos, and more to share that you may not see here. Keep an eye on these three in particular:
· Twitter - @PlayCODMobile
· Facebook – @Callofdutymobile
· Instagram - Callofdutymobile
If you don't see your region then don't fret, there are many different COD Mobile social media accounts for a variety of regions all over the world, whether you are in Japan, Russia, South America, or others.
As we get further into November, we eagerly wait to share more information with you all about upcoming events, whether it is modes, challenges, new gear or skins, gameplay changes, or additions.
However, for now check out everything coming this week to COD Mobile:
· 11/4 – 11/10 ~ Weekly Battle Royale Challenge
· 11/4 – 11/11 ~ Airborne Chip Event
· 11/4 – 11/14 ~ Personal Milestones
· 11/8 – 11/14 ~ FFA Mode & Challenge
· 11/9 – 11/10 ~ 2X Weapon XP (BR only)
· 11/11 – 11/18 ~ Call of Duty Endowment Pack
\All Dates UTC*
This week is jam packed with events, new and old, and with many opportunities to finish up previous challenges, like the new Airborne class or to snag that unique Magic Eye backpack from Personal Milestones.
These last two weeks have been full of challenges, events, and rewards for all of you Battle Royale fans. If you ever need any tips, like an overview of the map, take a look at our Activision Blog. It is regularly updated and filled with information on all aspects of the game.
Call of Duty Endowment
As mentioned in the upcoming news, we are honored for Call of Duty: Mobile to be working with the folks at the Call of Duty Endowment. This non-profit organization is all about helping unemployed veterans in the United Kingdom and United States find high quality careers. They have successfully helped place more than 63,000 veterans in jobs since 2009.
We are thrilled to announce that next week will have brand new items available in COD Mobile that will support this organization. If you want to support them in an additional way, there is a Call of Duty Endowment pack in Modern Warfare.
Stay tuned to our COD Mobile social media channels for more details on all of that, but for now please take a look at the brand-new #HireHonor video for Call of Duty Endowment and Veterans Day: https://youtu.be/TgXjNR8cxgU
Feedback
The most commonly addressed issues over the last month of Community Updates have been Bots, additional login options, controller support, and new maps. Last week we addressed a few of those topics and many of those are things being currently worked on, like controller support and login options, but we'd just like to say keep sharing that feedback in forms.
While it is fantastic to see so much feedback about those previously discussed topics, we would love to hear more about what you think about new operator skills (like the Sparrow), new BR classes (Airborne), new modes, or in-game events. Our teams are always balancing community feedback against in-game data, so please just let us know what you think about everything related to COD Mobile.
Cheater Reports & Anti-Cheat
This week we rolled out our Call of Duty: Mobile Security & Enforcement Policy to outline how that system works, what kind of actions we may take depending on the infraction, and the potential penalties for violating this policy.
We will continue to enforce on all players who choose to ruin the balance of the game by using cheats, hacks, exploits, or anything else defined in that policy. Please keep reporting players in-game and directly through our community accounts.
Just a reminder, but if you are reporting cheaters to us in the community please provide the following information so that we can quickly investigate:
Screenshots/video
Usernames and user ID (if available)
Date and time of reported match
We have no intention of banning players automatically just based on a report, but we will appropriately investigate and enforce on any players who are found to be cheating.
Controller Support
Just a quick note, but we are planning to release controller support soon and are just finalizing the specifics of how it will be working in the game, specifically with matchmaking. Keep checking back for more on this as we get closer to release.
Just a reminder, while we are always looking for feedback in community spaces, you can also report that in-game (hint - look under the ? icon next to the messages icon).
This week we released some new content for Battle Royale, the Airborne class, and early in the week we saw a lot of discussion about it. However, there was one thread that stood out.
Reddit user u/lorealjenkins not only found a unique way to utilize Airborne, but they used that thread to discuss new strategies available, like using it to make yourself into a UAV for your squad, and created a lot of awareness for the potentials of this class. Find that great thread and video here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CallOfDutyMobile/comments/dsg4zp/airborne_indeed/
There is a great deal that could qualify for a community highlight, whether it is a top play, a unique approach to a situation, an interesting discussion, or even just feedback. Keep it coming and we'll keep an eye out for it.
There is a lot this week that is "coming soon" and while we hate to just tease details, we hope you'll share in the anticipation for everything that is coming in November. Until next time!
-Call of Duty: Mobile Team
You and 10,000 others at least. It's insane how we don't have it already. But I'm not sure if I want it to be exactly identical to the mobile though. Like the unlock system being free to play...
Why would you not want the unlock system to be free to play?
I wish it was regular cod. I dunno. How is it? I've only played an hour once and haven't touched it again. I don't like the gathering coins and spending
Zombies is coming November 22, 2019
It's safe to assume it will be an already existing map and not a new one, right?

I've no idea. But probably, since all of the multiplayer maps are reused from the main games.
I wouldn't mind seeing Der Riese or Kino.
November 15, 2019 Community Update (Summit coming soon, controller support information next week)
OP
OP
New community update from /r/CallOfDutyMobile: yes I'm posting this a day late I'm sorry
Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile community, last week we were thrilled to see you share in our excitement about upcoming content and zombies mode! Not only is that on the way this month, but as you may have noticed the current Battle Pass is nearing its end and that means a brand one is just around the corner.
That new Battle Pass will be filled with new loot, new gear, and plenty of ways to make you stand-out, or blend in, on the battlefield. On top of that there will be a variety of new content coming out around that same update, like controller support, new limited time modes, and a new classic map.
Hang tight until the next update and if the stars align on our end, we'll be able to share all of those exciting details then!
Many events are just nearing their end at the time of this post, but we have a great deal coming up later this month with many different limited time events, unique promotional offers, new items to obtain, in-game challenges to complete, map updates, and so much more!
For one, starting today everyone has access to the Molotov Cocktail Event! If you are able to complete this event you'll snag a few goodies but most importantly you can earn a new scorestreak to utilize. Starting tomorrow on 11/16 you'll be able to you'll be able to earn the M16 Stained Glass through a variety of weapon based challenges as part of the Weapon Mastery event.

11/25 ~ Battle Pass Season 2 Begins
\All Dates UTC*
On top of the in-game events, challenges, and everything occurring this week there has also been several new Call of Duty: Mobile blog posts since the last week Community Update.
Earlier this week we had a post about all the different Operator Skills in the game. Whether you just want to know the basics of how a skill works or you want some tips you can find that all here.
Call of Duty: Mobile was nominated for Google Play's Users' Choice Game of 2019 award!
We have one more blog up about that nomination with the details. We have received an outpouring of support about this already on social media and we are all incredibly grateful for your kind words about the game, for sharing this nomination among your communities, and for helping us make this the best Call of Duty experience on mobile!
Lucky Draw
A few weeks ago we used part of our Nov 1st. Community Update to address some of the questions and feedback related to the Halloween Lucky Draw. Tomorrow, we have the next iteration of that coming to the game: the Cosmos Chance.
Like we said last time, we are committed to making changes to this type of event to help you better understand how it works with a breakdown and the rarity of the included items. We have done the following:
This rarity information can be found by clicking on the More Info button.
In addition to the rarity information, we have also replaced XP cards and crates with more unique items.
Please let us know what you think of these changes, the new items (like Razorback – Cosmos), and what you'd like to see with similar events in the future.
Controller Support
Last week we mentioned Controller Support is coming out soon in an update and today we'd like to announce that you'll be able to find all of that information early next week on our Activision Blog.
The blog post will provide information on what types of controllers are supported, the settings, and how to set that up. We'll share that through our Call of Duty: Mobile social media and in several community areas once it is live.
Feedback
Before we jump in, we'd just like to thank the many players out there who specifically answered our call last week for more feedback related to new operator skills, new content, limited time modes, and in-game events. After posting the Community Update last Friday we saw many players immediately respond to those topics and while we can't respond to each of those individual posts, we greatly appreciate the discussion, feedback, and enthusiasm.
This week we have a few new topics to discuss, so if you are looking for previously discussed topics, like anti-cheat or bots, please refer to our other Community Update posts.
COD Mobile: Garena - Beta Test
One quick note, our South East Asia version of Call of Duty: Mobile is currently performing a test for an upcoming update and many of you have been posting about it in the community.
Garena does not always share the same content as COD Mobile and that beta may have content that is not complete or not part of the final build, but even with that in mind please think of your fellow players before sharing potential spoilers about new maps, new modes, or other content that is exclusive to that beta. Be kind to each other everyone.
Limited Time Modes
It's been a little while since we've discussed limited time modes and we saw quite a bit of discussion this last week about Hardpoint, Gun Game, and Free For All. The purpose of limited time modes is to provide with new and frequently rotating options that provide you with a new experience while also not splitting the player base or affecting matchmaking.
With that said, if you like a specific limited time mode please do keep letting us know. If you truly want a limited time mode to become permanent here is how you can influence that:
Play it a significant amount during its limited time availability
Bother you friends to get them to play it as well
Bother your clan and get them to play it as well
Bother the rest of community on social media to both share your love of the mode and to get them to play it as well
TL:DR get everyone you can to play it and we will notice. Sure, threads and feedback always are welcome too, but most importantly show your unrelenting dedication by extensively playing that mode.
Just a reminder, while we are always looking for feedback in community spaces, you can also report that in-game (hint - look under the ? icon next to the messages icon).
Bug Reports
This week we saw the same types of bugs being discussed in the community and this will basically just be a reminder of how to deal with a couple of the most commonly discussed issues:
Purchasing Issues
If you are still encountering any issues purchasing anything from the in-game store, whether it is COD Points or a specific item, please make sure the transaction was successful, wait a few hours & restart the game in case there is a delay, and if you still don't see then please do the following:
Contact our Player Support channels through the in-game option or through the Activision Support website: https://support.activision.com/contact_us
Make sure to grab your player ID (found on the second tab of your player profile in-game)
Make sure to grab proof of purchase, which is just a screenshot of your Google or Apple Store receipt for the COD Point purchase
Provide all that information to the Player Support agent who is assisting you and let them know all of the relevant details
Friends List Issues
For any players reporting issues with adding friends please make sure that your friend is playing the same version of the game. Call of Duty: Mobile - Garena is a different version of the game in a region not supported by Activision. You will not be able to add friends from Garena.
However, outside of that you may be running into issues if you are using Facebook as your login and do not have certain settings enabled.
Troubleshooting Steps:
Log into your Facebook account
Select Apps and Websites
Navigate to Active Apps and Websites
Select COD Mobile and make sure the Friends List option is enabled
Navigate to Visibility of the App
Change the filter to Friends
Save the settings
As per every update, for any issue please reach out to Activision Support through the in-game option first, but if you are unable to reach out in-game then there is always an online option available through social media or through Contact Us.
Every gamer out there has been in a situation where they are the last one on their team in a round based mode and the pressure just builds and builds until you start sweating. Those moments can be truly amazing and exhilarating when you come through for their team, get that clutch, and manage to beat the odds. This week we are highlighting one of those moments.
Reddit user u/DL-Q33 posted a video this last week showing off one of those moments and it became a huge thread filled with discussions, jokes, build suggestions and more. Check that out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CallOfDutyMobile/comments/dsc3l7/its_all_up_to_you_now_finish_the_mission/
Lastly, we didn't forget about zombies mode! We are happy to announce that it is releasing on November 22nd (PST) alongside some other amazing content that we'll be talking about next week.

Until next time!

Looking on the subreddit, the latest patch notes for the Garena version mention adding Xbox One and DualShock 4 support. According to the notes, playing with a controller will throw you into the same pool as emulator / KB+M players.
The rest of the world should get the update at some point today.
